This is a free workshop.

Authors are increasingly becoming the target of fraud schemes. The Department of Justice recently indicted three people who stole more than $44 million from authors. Playing on our dreams of success and the challenges with being discovered, bad actors use a variety of strategies to engage authors and lure them into parting with their money or intellectual property. In this webinar, award-winning author and VP of Technology for the Women’s Fiction Writers Association, Catherine Matthews will demonstrate strategies you can use to quickly evaluate emails for potential scams. Protect yourself, your work, and your dreams with a few easy steps.
